Microsoft Announces Public Preview and Pricing for Windows Essential Server SolutionsCustomers and partners begin evaluating pre-release versions of Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Essential Business Server 2008.

REDMOND, Wash., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Customers and Microsoft Corp. partners can now visit http://www.multiplyyourpower.com/ to find out how to evaluate pre-release versions of Windows Essential Server Solutions for small and midsize companies: Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Essential Business Server 2008. Microsoft also today announced pricing for both solutions.

By combining Microsoft technologies such as Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2008 and other Microsoft products and services into all-in-one IT solutions, Windows Essential Server Solutions help businesses improve efficiency, increase productivity and drive growth. The solutions also are ideal for technology advisors serving the increasingly sophisticated IT needs of small and midsize customers.

"Small and midsize companies are looking for many of the same IT capabilities and benefits as those sought by large enterprises," said Ray Boggs, vice president Small/Medium Business Research at IDC. "But the technology has to be delivered as part of simpler, integrated and more affordable solutions for organizations with minimal IT staffs and resources. And of course it helps if solutions are also tailored to meet the needs of technology consultants that often work with those small and midsize firms."

Beta Program Participants Already Seeing Value

A number of customers and partners already have been privately testing Windows Essential Server Solutions, providing valuable feedback to Microsoft. They already are reporting great benefits, too.

Sumeeth Evans is director of IT for Collegiate Housing Services, a company that coordinates student housing for colleges. He said, "With Essential Business Server 2008, our administrative workload is one-tenth of what it was before. This is the largest step forward we have ever seen in terms of our ability to focus technology on real business needs."

Dave Benson is founder and chief financial officer of Epicurean Cutting Surfaces, which creates popular kitchen cutting boards and utensils using sustainable materials. He said, "Small Business Server 2008 is advanced software that eliminates a lot of wasted time and allows us to focus on our business goals and to sell globally."

Erik Thorsell, president of Success Computer Consulting in Minneapolis, said, "Small Business Server 2008 and Essential Business Server 2008 are both designed with me and my clients in mind. They make it easy for me to give my customers the freedom to work effectively from home or on the road."

Solutions Designed and Priced for Small and Midsize Businesses

Slated for general availability later this year, Windows Essential Server Solutions are much easier for small and midsize companies to implement and manage than separate products. In response to customer and partner feedback, Windows Essential Server Solutions provide flexible pricing and licensing that offer substantial cost savings over purchasing individual products like those included in the solutions. Examples of licensing improvements over the current Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 product include these:

-- Customers will be able to purchase single client access licenses (CALs), so they will pay only for the exact number of employees using the product. -- Customers can cost-effectively purchase a mix of Standard or Premium CALs, as appropriate to the technologies that individual employees are using. -- CALs now apply to other copies of Windows Server, SQL Server or Exchange Server on the network, eliminating the need to purchase additional CALs.

Also, Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition includes additional Windows Server 2008 Standard technologies with SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition for Small Business, making it an ideal platform for critical business applications.

Windows Essential Server Solutions pricing* is as follows: -- Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard Edition software, including five CALs, $1,089 (U.S.); additional CALs $77 each (U.S.) -- Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition software, including five CALs, $1,899 (U.S.); additional CALs $189 each (U.S.) -- Windows Essential Business Server 2008 Standard Edition software, including five CALs, $5,472 (U.S.); additional CALs $81 each (U.S.) -- Windows Essential Business Server 2008 Premium Edition software, including five CALs, $7,163 (U.S.); additional CALs $195 each (U.S.)

Microsoft also today announced rebates of up to $200 (U.S.) for solution provider partners configuring Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 for their clients who acquire the software and purchase Software Assurance within a certain time period. With Software Assurance, customers will receive the upgrade to Small Business Server 2008 at no additional cost when it is available, as well as access to support, tools and training. Terms and conditions of the rebates are available at http://www.sbsrebate.com/.

More information about the products, pricing and beta customer feedback is available at http://www.microsoft.com/ess. More information for journalists is available at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/serversolutions.

Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

EarthLink to Discontinue Operation of Its Municipal Wi-Fi Network in PhiladelphiaDecision comes after EarthLink's agreement to transfer network to non-profit for free unravelsWi-Fi customers notified about 30-day transition period and alternative access offers

ATLANTA, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EarthLink today notified its Wi-Fi customers in Philadelphia that EarthLink is terminating its Philadelphia Wi-Fi service and that EarthLink is providing its customers a thirty-day transition period through June 12, 2008.

After months of negotiations with the City of Philadelphia and a non-profit organization in which EarthLink offered to transfer to either the City or to the non-profit -- for free -- the entire $17 million Wi-Fi network, as well as pay cash and donate new Wi-Fi equipment, the transfer unraveled due to unresolved issues among the City, Wireless Philadelphia and the non-profit.

"EarthLink has worked diligently for many months to transfer our Wi-Fi network to a new owner -- at no cost," said Rolla Huff, EarthLink's chairman and chief executive officer. "Unfortunately, our hope that we could transfer our network to a non-profit organization that had planned to offer free Wi-Fi throughout Philadelphia will not be realized. Since we have exhausted our efforts to find a new owner of the network, our only responsible alternative now is to remove our network at our cost and assist our Wi-Fi customers with alternative ways to access the Internet."

EarthLink will continue to provide Wi-Fi service to its customers in Philadelphia during a transition period that will end on June 12, 2008. EarthLink will begin decommissioning the network shortly after the transition period. EarthLink is contacting its customers in Philadelphia to provide information about the termination of service and assist in the transition to other EarthLink Internet access services.

EarthLink has also filed today a proceeding in federal court seeking a declaration that EarthLink may remove its equipment from the City's street lights and that EarthLink's total potential liability may not exceed $1 million.

EarthLink reclassified its municipal Wi-Fi assets to discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2007. EarthLink expects these actions will have no material impact to its current financial guidance.

UniPixel Announces Opcuity(TM) Finger Print Resistant FilmCompany's Optical Thin Film Research and Development Yields Advanced Finger Print Resistant Films Applicable to Any Touch Screen Surface

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Uni-Pixel, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: UNXL) , the developer of color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter ("TMOS"), today announced it has developed a unique new thin film it calls Opcuity(TM) FPR (Finger Print Resistant) that can be applied to any touch screen surface to prevent finger prints while maintaining an optically clear path to the underlying display. The film also provides scratch protection, anti-glare and offers a silky smooth touch interface for device users' fingers. The unique optical properties of Opcuity FPR can also provide enhanced viewing capabilities in some cases.

According to DisplaySearch, the touch screen market is forecasted to reach more than 660 million units by 2015 -- indicating a significant market opportunity for UniPixel's Opcuity FPR.

According to Mr. Reed Killion, President and CEO of UniPixel, "Our engineering teams continue to make great strides toward the commercialization of our TMOS display technology. A key element of our TMOS display system is the Opcuity thin films we intend to supply as a material to our TMOS display manufacturing licensees. Today's announcement signals UniPixel's core competency in the thin films arena and we're breaking new ground in many of its facets. We believe the Opcuity FPR film is a timely discovery and offers superior touch and optical benefits to the exploding touch screen market segment."

Killion concluded, "UniPixel has successfully developed and tested a volume production process and are now in position to take Opcuity FPR to market. Based on these results, we have begun discussions with potential partners for distribution of Opcuity FPR. The Opcuity FPR film offers an immediate and clear path to commercial production revenues for UniPixel that will help establish the foundation for our TMOS licensing and Opcuity film sales business."

UniPixel executives will be available to discuss its Opcuity FPR film at the coming SID DisplayWeek, to be held in Los Angeles, CA the week of May 19. Media interested in attending the company's press conference or attending a press briefing should contact Stacey Voorhees at stacey@savvypublicrelations.net or call (925)-336-9592.

Bravo, Apple, Showtime, HBO, Absolut, and Levi's Deemed Most Gay-Friendly Brands, According to Major Gay & Lesbian Consumer StudyLandmark survey from PlanetOut, Inc. and Prime Access reveals that more than two-thirds of gays and lesbians say they are more likely to purchase from gay-friendly companies

NEW YORK, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bravo, Apple, Showtime, HBO, Absolut, and Levi's, are the gay-friendliest brands, while WalMart, Dunkin Donuts, Cracker Barrel, Exxon Mobil, and Samsung earn the lowest marks from gay and lesbian consumers, according to the 2008 Prime Access/PlanetOut Gay and Lesbian Consumer Study released today.

Conducted by Clark, Martire & Bartolomeo on behalf of advertising agency Prime Access and PlanetOut Inc. , the survey is one of the largest and most comprehensive surveys of gay and lesbian consumer habits and brand perceptions. A total of 2,259 adults aged 18-64 participated in the study, which was broken down into two panels: general population (1,502 respondents) and gay and lesbian population (757 respondents).

Prime Access is the leading advertising agency specializing in reaching the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. PlanetOut Inc. is the leading global media and entertainment company exclusively serving the LGBT community.

The report confirms why many of the world's most successful brands recognize that being gay-friendly equals good business.

According to the study, more than two-thirds (68%) of gay and lesbian consumers said they are more likely to buy from a company they considered to be gay-friendly, a perception they base largely on a company's advertising, followed by input from friends and the media.

The study also reveals that 71% of gay and lesbian consumers said they have a more favorable impression of companies or products that feature gay imagery in their advertising. Howard Buford, president and CEO of Prime Access, noted that Levi's, one of the top gay-friendly brands, recently featured a gay couple in television advertising.

"The study reveals that gays and lesbians are fiercely loyal customers to brands they perceive as reaching out to them," said Buford. "A marketing communications program directed at the gay and lesbian audience can be a significant opportunity for brands to build business."

Kevyn Aiken, Vice President of Marketing, Media Sales at PlanetOut, said the study also confirms why gays and lesbians represent one of the most coveted and active demographics.

"Gays and lesbians have many similarities to straight people, with one pronounced difference: they're more powerful consumers," said Aiken. "In virtually every category -- from financial services to fragrance -- the study shows that gays and lesbians tend to be ahead of the curve when it comes to embracing new products and trends. They are early adopters that their peers look to for advice, opinions, and ideas. As a result of their influence, they impact many more purchases than just their own."

For example, Aiken said the study revealed that gays and lesbians are almost twice as likely (60% vs. 34%) as their straight counterparts to say people seek their advice.

Among other notable findings in the 2008 Prime Access/PlanetOut Gay and Lesbian Consumer Report:

-- 8% of adults in the general population panel identified as gay or lesbian, reflecting conventional wisdom that 5-10% of adults are gay. -- Sexual orientation is the primary community with which gays and lesbians identify. 47% of gays and lesbians said their sexual orientation is the community that most defines them, followed by gender (45%) and religion (28%). This compares to gender (36%), nationality (32%), and religion (30%) for the general population. -- While almost three-fourths of both gays and lesbians and the general population are opposed to outing, 61% of gays and lesbians support outing if an individual is actively opposed to equal rights. Only 33% of the general population agrees. -- 69% percent of gays and lesbians are Democrats, while 7% are Republicans.

The report also surveyed 3,156 PlanetOut subscriber and reader respondents, drawn from email promotable lists provided by PlanetOut. Notable findings among this group include:

-- 85% of PlanetOut respondents said they are more likely to purchase products from companies they know are gay-friendly. -- PlanetOut respondents are 36% more likely than the general population to consider themselves "someone in the know".

To view a summary of key highlights from The 2008 Prime Access/PlanetOut Gay and Lesbian Consumer Study, please visit: http://www.primeaccess.net/c2_gpr.php .

Methodology:

The 2008 Prime Access/PlanetOut Gay and Lesbian Consumer Report is one of the largest, most comprehensive studies ever of gay and lesbian consumer habits and brand perceptions. The study was conducted by Clark, Martire & Bartolomeo, a leader in custom media marketing research. The respondents were sourced from both the Harris Interactive general population panel, one of the largest online panels available today, and from Harris Interactive's GLBT specialty panel. A total of 2,259 adults aged 18-64 participated in the study, broken down as follows:

-- General population: 1,502 -- Gay and lesbian population: 757

The Harris Interactive GLBT specialty panel is recruited from various sources, and is not specifically enlisted from gay and lesbian websites.

In addition, 3,156 PlanetOut subscriber and reader respondents, drawn from email promotable lists provided by PlanetOut, were also surveyed. The PlanetOut "universe" includes readers/subscribers of Out, The Advocate, gay.com, out.com, planetout.com and outtraveler.com.

An online methodology was selected primarily for the critical anonymity it offers respondents. Because online research allows respondents to complete surveys with anonymity and privacy, respondents are often more comfortable sharing their experiences and concerns.

California Micro Devices développe une nouvelle architecture de contrôleur d'écran qui supporte les normes d'interface série basées sur MDDI et MIPI

MILPITAS, Californie, May 13 /PRNewswire/ --

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq : CAMD) a annoncé que la société a mis au point une architecture innovante de contrôleur d'écran supportant à la fois la norme MDDI (Mobile Display Digital Interface) et la norme MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) pour les interfaces série haut débit utilisées dans les combinés mobiles actuels les plus sophistiqués. Cette architecture unique, développée en collaboration avec les principaux fabricants de combinés et de dispositifs, permettra aux combinés utilisant des unités centrales et des processeurs d'application avec des hôtes sur puce compatibles avec MDDI, d'interfacer avec les écrans à cristaux liquides (LCD) possédant des clients conformes, soit à MDDI, soit à MIPI.

L'existence de deux normes pour les interfaces d'écran haut débit a poussé les fabricants de combinés à utiliser différents modules LCD en fonction de la norme d'interface en série supportée par leur choix d'architecture d'unité centrale. Avec le développement de produits basés sur la nouvelle architecture de pont MDDI vers MIPI, les fabricants de combinés utilisant une unité centrale avec un hôte basé sur MDDI pourront choisir entre un écran avec un client basé sur MDDI ou un client basé sur MIPI. Cela permettra aussi aux fabricants de combinés de produire des modèles utilisant des unités centrales basées à la fois sur MDDI et MIPI, afin de répondre à tous leurs besoins en matière d'écran avec des modules basés sur la norme MIPI, résultant dans des volumes plus élevés et des coÃ»ts plus faibles de modules.

En plus de fournir un support aux écrans multinormes pour les conceptions basées sur MDDI d'unités centrales de combinés, les produits basés sur le nouveau pont d'architecture MDDI vers MIPI pourront aussi s'interfacer avec des processeurs d'applications GSM et WCDMA par l'intermédiaire d'une unité centrale d'interface standard. Cela fournira aux fabricants de combinés désirant une introduction précoce des conceptions de combiné basées sur MIPI, la souplesse associée à l'utilisation des unités centrales GSM et WCDMA, très courantes, sans avoir recours à un hôte MIPI intégré. Les fabricants de combinés peuvent réduire les risques associés à la dépendance sur les calendriers de développement des nouveaux produits tout en bénéficiant pleinement des avantages d'une interface écran haut débit, y compris le nombre réduit de signaux d'interface, une consommation d'énergie moins élevée et une interférence électromagnétique (EMI) réduite.

<< Les fabricants de combinés qui créent des systèmes basés à la fois sur les normes GSM et CDMA ainsi que les normes 3G associées, auront la possibilité de réduire leurs coÃ»ts grâce à la concentration de leur pouvoir d'achat sur l'approvisionnement de modules LCD basés sur une norme unique tout en bénéficiant des avantages de coÃ»t, d'encombrement, de puissance et de réduction de l'EMI inhérents à l'utilisation d'une interface série >>, estime Kyle Baker, vice-président du marketing chez CMD.

Les produits basés sur cette architecture devraient Ãªtre disponibles pour un échantillonnage au mois de septembre 2008. La production devrait débuter en mars 2009. La nouvelle architecture sera présentée en détail par CMD à l'occasion du prochain SID 2008 International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition devant se dérouler du 20 au 22 mai à Los Angeles, Californie.

Investors interested in what he has to say about the tech companies reporting today are invited to take advantage of our 21-day free trial offer:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn673

In his earnings preview, McWilliams wrote: "Hewlett-Packard's Mark Hurd hit the ground running, trimming fat and restructuring both internal and sales channel operations. The net results were rapidly growing sales, improved profitability and a much higher stock price. My concern now, however, is whether Hurd may have squeezed too tightly in two places that may come back to bite Hewlett-Packard later this year..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- What five things does Applied Materials have working in its favor? Would McWilliams consider accumulating the company's shares at current prices? -- After a strong run since his buy recommendation in 2005 at $25, in his preview McWilliams alerted readers about two yellow flags that Hewlett- Packard investors should watch and points out what might be a better way to leverage an upside from HP. -- McWilliams suggested readers buy Amtech in 2005 in the $5's. Now that the price has more than doubled does he think it's time to take profits? -- With WiMax in the headlines, does McWilliams see upside potential for WiMax equipment maker Alvarion?

California Micro Devices Develops New Display Controller Architecture That Supports Both MDDI and MIPI Based Serial Interface Standards

MILPITAS, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices announced that the Company has developed an innovative display controller architecture that serves both the Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) and Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) standards for high speed serial display interfaces for use in today's most advanced mobile handsets. The unique architecture, developed in collaboration with major handset and device manufacturers, will permit advanced handsets that utilize CPUs and application processors with on-chip MDDI compatible hosts to interface with liquid crystal display (LCD) modules that feature either MDDI or MIPI based clients.

The existence of the two standards for high speed serial display interfaces has compelled handset makers to procure different LCD modules which are based on the serial interface standard supported by their selection of CPU architecture. With the development of products based on the new MDDI-to-MIPI bridge architecture, handset makers utilizing a CPU with an MDDI based host will have the flexibility to procure either a display module with an MDDI based client or a MIPI based client. This will allow handset makers that produce models utilizing both MDDI and MIPI based CPUs to satisfy all of their display requirements with modules based on the MIPI standard, resulting in higher volumes and lower module prices.

In addition to providing multi-standard display module support for MDDI based CPU handset designs, products based on the new MDDI-to-MIPI bridge architecture will also be able to interface to existing GSM and WCDMA baseband and application processors via an industry standard CPU interface. This will provide handset makers seeking an early introduction of MIPI based handset designs the flexibility of utilizing widely available GSM and WCDMA CPUs without an integrated MIPI host. Handset makers can reduce product launch risks associated with dependence upon new product development schedules while taking full advantage of the benefits of a high speed serial display interface which include a reduced number of interface signals, lower power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI).

"Handset makers that produce systems based on both the GSM and CDMA standards, and associated 3G standards, will have the opportunity to achieve cost savings as a result of concentrating their purchasing power on procuring LCD modules based on a single standard while also enjoying the cost, space, power and EMI reduction advantages inherent in the use of the serial interface," commented Kyle Baker, CMD's vice president of marketing.

Products based upon the architecture are expected to be available for sampling in September 2008 with production targeted for March 2009. Details of the new architecture will be presented by CMD at the upcoming SID 2008 International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition to be held May 20th - 22nd in Los Angeles, California.

Point.360 Announces Third Quarter and Nine-Month Results

BURBANK, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Point.360 , a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008.

Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "We have made progress in identifying a number of potential acquisition candidates. Negotiations often require extended time to be sure there is a service, economic and cultural fit. We are continuing this effort as a major strategic goal over the next year."

Mr. Bagerdjian continued: "Recently, we announced a Point.360 stock repurchase program. We will continue to consider repurchases from time to time in light of alternate uses of our cash including acquisitions."

The nine month results reflect the sum of the periods July 1 - August 13, 2007 and August 14, 2007 (the date of the Spin-off) - March 31, 2008. Results for the prior year's first quarter and nine-month results have been carved out of Old Point.360 for comparative purposes.

Revenues

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 totaled $11.3 million compared to $10.3 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $33.8 million, up 5% from last year.

Gross Margin

In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, gross margin was $3.9 million (35% of sales), compared to $2.8 million (27% of sales) in the prior year's third quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, gross margin was $10.2 million (30% of sales) compared to $9.6 million (30% of sales) last year.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, SG&A expenses were $3.7 million, or 33% of sales, compared to $3.4 million, or 33% of sales in the third quarter of last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, SG&A expenses were $10.9 million (32% of sales) compared to $10.0 million (31% of sales) last year. The increase is due to the addition of Eden FX, costs associated with the divestiture of our advertising distribution business and the need for an additional audit for filing a transitional Form 10-K due to the change in our fiscal year.

In the first quarter for 2008, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.5 million related to the August 13, 2007 decision to vacate one of its facilities and certain other reorganization costs. These charges are shown separately in the consolidated statement of income (loss).

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same periods of last year due to lower debt levels.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a $0.6 million operating loss in last year's third quarter. Operating loss was $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the same period last year. The increased loss was due principally to the effects of the Eden FX acquisition and restructuring charges.

Net Income (Loss)

For the third quarter of 2008, the Company reported net income of $0.2 million ($0.01 per share) compared to net loss of $0.5 million ($0.04 per share) in the same period last year. In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $1.0 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in 2007.

Siemens Introduces Dual Energy Applications for General ImagingFirst Multi-Contrast System Introduced for Computed Tomography

ERLANGEN, Germany, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following the introduction of the first-ever dual-source Computed Tomography (CT) system, SOMATOM(R) Definition, with two X-ray tubes that simultaneously generate different energies, Siemens Healthcare (http://www.siemens.com/healthcare) has developed 10 dual energy (DE) applications. At the 10th Annual International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT, to be held in Las Vegas, May 13-16, Siemens will present its Optimum Contrast software, which brings new levels of contrast to sectional images created with dual energy applications. Thanks to these innovations, dual-energy applications, which were previously reserved for special clinical investigations, can now be used in a broad range of routine examinations that involve contrast medium.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Until now, radiologists performing examinations with contrast medium had to decide whether they wanted to see more contrast or less image noise in the final images. While images taken at lower voltages of approximately 80 kV (kilovolt) resulted in a higher resolution of the displayed vessels due to the significantly increased iodine contrast, these images always featured a higher level of image noise. In comparison, images taken at a voltage of 140 kV are more suitable to differentiate soft tissue, and image noise tends to be minor.

CT systems can now, for the first time ever, combine the advantages of low and high voltage values of 80 kV and 140 kV in every image using Siemens Optimum Contrast software. Optimum Contrast is made possible by the use of two X-ray tubes that are capable of generating different voltages, simultaneously. In addition, the software contains newly developed image optimization algorithms, which analyze the 3D data and determine the optimal mix of high and low voltage benefits for every image voxel to combine the best of both worlds in multi-contrast images. This makes soft tissue and vascular structures containing contrast medium more recognizable than ever.

"We at Siemens see a vast potential for dual energy imaging combined with tools, such as Optimum Contrast to provide a dimension of contrast in CT, improving diagnostic outcomes and simplifying complex workflows," said André Hartung, vice president of marketing and sales, Computed Tomography, Siemens Healthcare. "Optimum Contrast adds the benefits of dual energy imaging to routine CT scans and optimizes the image quality of all contrast medium examinations."

In addition to its new Optimum Contrast software, Siemens will also present four recently introduced dual-energy applications at this year's symposium.

One of the new dual energy applications for the SOMATOM Definition from Siemens is syngo(R) DE Heart PBV (Perfusion Blood Volume), which provides color-marking of non-perfused parts of the myocardium during cardiological examinations. Moreover, a specific application allows for the isolated display of the heart, for example, without thoracic structures. Heart perfusion is examined primarily after an infarction to determine damaged areas of the organ. For the first time, DE CT allows for detecting the presence and level of stenosis, as well as the location and extent of the resulting reduced perfusion in the myocardium in a single scan.

Deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints of gout patients may damage the cartilaginous and osseous substance, particularly if the disease has been chronic for several years. With syngo DE Gout, CT can now be used to detect gout. The new DE application assists physicians in clearly identifying uric acid crystals in the extremities and monitoring changes in the crystals in the course of treatment.

syngo DE Lung Vessels provides a whole series of new applications to assist physicians in CT examinations of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism -- a sudden occlusion of blood vessels in the lungs. The new applications allow for detecting non-perfused pulmonary blood vessels and tissue through color-marking. The "Lung Isolation" application isolates the entire organ to assess the perfusion situation without obstructing adjacent organs.

syngo DE Brain Hemorrhage assists in the distinction between new and old hemorrhages in the event of cerebral bleeding. The two energy levels of the X- ray tubes are used to fade out the contrast medium. In the past, this had required two scans. The CM subtraction offers two advantages: A non-CM enhanced examination is no longer necessary, and the patient is spared the radiation dose of a second scan.

The company is a renowned medical solutions provider with core competence and innovative strength in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies as well as in knowledge engineering, including information technology and system integration.

Raytheon Receives Award for Its Approaches in Leadership Development

WALTHAM, Mass., May 13, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company has been honored as a 2007 Best-Practice Partner by APQC (American Productivity and Quality Center) for its exceptional work and innovative approaches in leadership development. Raytheon was one of only five companies selected to receive this award.

APQC is a nonprofit organization that identifies corporate best practices to discover effective methods of improvement. This information enables companies to adapt to rapidly changing environments, build new and better ways to work, and succeed in a competitive marketplace.

"The APQC award highlights our commitment and dedication to the professional development of our employees and is directly reflective of the investments we've made in building a robust talent pipeline within our company," said Keith Peden, Raytheon's senior vice president of Human Resources.

Raytheon was specifically recognized for its efforts in identifying, assessing and developing high-potential employees. Its innovative programs span all levels of the organization from entry level candidates to the executive team.

"Raytheon was chosen as a best practice partner organization due to its executive assessment program, formal leadership curricula, Human Resources review process as well as its organizational structure and support to maximize diversity efforts enterprise-wide," said Ruth Stevelman, project manager at APQC. "Our mission is to help organizations learn from best-practice partners like Raytheon that have proven track records in leadership development." As part of the award, Raytheon recently hosted about 20 industry leaders and best-practice partner recipients to share its winning strategies, programs and processes for high potentials. These will be presented in an APQC benchmarking study, with the final report shared at the project's concluding meeting in Houston, Texas, May 14-15, 2008.

For more than 30 years, APQC has worked with organizations across all industries to find practical, cost-effective solutions to drive productivity and quality improvement. Each time APQC convenes a consortium to study a business process or issue, a select group of participating organizations is chosen to serve as best-practice partners. These organizations must have exhibited exceptional performance or employed innovative approaches in the research area and are studied in depth to help APQC identify what elements are keys to their success. APQC's experts guide the process, conduct the research and develop a formal report for approximately one-tenth the cost of one-on-one benchmarking.
